Expert Reply:

We do offer light-duty 1-1/4-inch hitch receivers for your 2014 Chevrolet Sonic Hatchback. These hitches have the capacity to carry 2 bikes on a compatible Class I bike rack.

We have a hitch that installs on your hatchback without need for cutting the rear bumper fascia, part # 24878 from Draw-Tite. This hitch requires no drilling and bolts on using included hardware.The installation instructions and an install video are linked for you.

With your Class I hitch installed you can choose a 2-bike carrier from among those shown on the included link. All racks shown includes locks for both the rack itself AND for your loaded bikes. You can choose a hanging- or platform-style rack depending on your preferences and style of bikes.

An outstanding platform carrier is Thule's EasyFold Rack # TH903202. This lightweight aluminum rack tilts away from the vehicle for better hatch access, includes a loading ramp, handles heavy bikes and it fits all frame types.

A helpful article is linked to let you choose the best carrier for your particular bikes.
